Mobility-assistive technologies allow patients with neuromuscular disease to
interact with peers and the community. In children, they also serve to facilitate
development. Lack of access to appropriate assistive technology, especially in
regards to mobility, can have adverse developmental consequences. There are
multiple options for mobility devices and methods for their control. These
devices can be integrated with other electronics to facilitate the control of a
variety of devices in the environment. The clinician should assess which devices
are best based on the patient's, caregivers', and medical team's goals.
